April 29,2009
Today was President Barack Obama's 100th 日 in office. So, what has Obama done for, または against, 動物 in his first 100 days in office?
Expectations were high during campaign season. Obama and VP Joe Biden both had great records on animal issues heading into the election, and won the endorsement of the Humane Society Legislative Fund. One disappointment was Obama's statement that a hunter should head the Department of the Interior. Despite pleas from animal advocates, Obama appointed a hunter, Senator Ken Salazar, as Secretary of the Interior. However, Obama also appointed animal-friendly Tom Vilsack as Secretary of Agriculture. Also before the election, Obama participated in a book against 子犬 mills and promised to adopt a rescue dog. Fast フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして to 2009, and Obama's actions over the past 100 days have been a mixed bag:
Obama Suspends Delisting of Grey Wolves
One his first 日 in office, Obama put a freeze on a number of federal regulations adopted によって the ブッシュ administration in its final days, including the delisting of grey オオカミ under the Endangered Species Act. This gave the オオカミ a temporary reprieve, and gave animal advocates hope.
Grey オオカミ in Northern Rockies Delisted
Just weeks after giving hope to animal advocates, the Obama administration delisted オオカミ under the Endangered Species Act. Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar, a hunter and rancher himself, cleared the way for individual states to begin killing オオカミ in order to protect animal agribusiness interests.
Slaughter of Downed Cows Banned in the US
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack banned the slaughter of "downer" cows - cows who are too sick, weak または injured to stand on their own. The decision was applauded によって animal advocates across the country.
Obama Breaks Promise to Rescue a Dog
This was the most disappointing move, probably because it was so unexpected. によって getting a dog from a breeder, Obama broke his promise to animal advocates and reinforced the misconception that people cannot get their dog of choice from a shelter または rescue group. The Obama's decision will lead to 子犬 mills churning out Portuguese water dogs, and one breeder of PWDs described the sudden demand for the breed as "general mayhem."
Scientific Requirements of Endangered Species Act Restored
Secretary of Commerce Gary Locke and Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar announced a revocation of the ブッシュ administration's weakening of the Endangered Species Act. With this move, the Obama administration brought back the ESA's longstanding scientific requirements and fulfilled Obama's promise to reverse the ブッシュ administration's change.

HOW CAN THEY KILL SUCH BEAUTIFUL, ADORABLE, HARMLESS BUT MOSTLY "HELPLESS" ANIMALS.
( these r not 写真 from the university, just some cute picks i found )
My family does euthanize our pets, but only when they are suffering and have no hope of living. We recently had to put down our Beagle, (thats a dog) Peaches. She was old and quickly dieing and we didnt want her to suffer. I beleive this is part of animal rights. Some people dont think its right to do that. But あなた want the best thing for your pets, right?
If your pet is suffering, please consider this.
